Gamble with Time: Christophe Claret 21 Blackjack Watch

When I first wrote about Christophe Claret, it was about the ground breaking DualTow. Now, three namesake watches later, the lust continues with his latest timepiece. The luxuriously priced (six figures) 21 Blackjack Watch. While this Christophe Claret may strike loyal readers as a departure from my usual stance on “classic elegance”, I’ve included the 21 Blackjack because with its dark translucent face and 9 window apertures, this timepiece is surprisingly clean and simple.

Roll the dice

The Christophe Claret 21 Blackjack is for all intents an purposes, a big boy’s toy and it doesn’t fail to deliver; this sophisticated timepiece includes three casino games- blackjack, roulette and a third dice game. It’s readily apparent that you play blackjack on the watch face and roulette under the sapphire caseback, the dice game is located in a cage at the 4 o’clock position on the side of the case and, visible through a sapphire crystal, offering the oldest game of chance.

Spin the roulette wheel with wrist flicks or alternative hit the blackjack tables where your cards will appear in the 4 windows between 3 o’clock and 9.
